Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Mike from Las Vegas.
Just picked up a 73 1.7 Zambezi green 914. I'll be reading this forum as much as I can and I'm sure asking advice from my fellow teeners. Hello to all.  |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) My doorhandle broke the day I bought my car too. This is very common. They are made of pot metal. A used replacement is what you need. Check ebay. $60-$100 is a good price. Passenger R side is easier to find. It's marked on the back. Look for both arms to be intact. Also the original white plastic actuator part is better than the black replacements imo. The cause is gummed up mechanism/latch. Once it gets stiff then the handle eventually breaks. Clean and lube, so your next handle won't die the same death. I used PB blaster on mine.
